A pride of lions is usually composed of related females, under the guardianship of an alpha male. The number depends on the availability of prey in the prides territory. Once male cubs reach puberty (and likely to pose a challenge to the leadership of the alpha male) they are driven out from the pride. Therefore, the ratio is very variable.

In the jungle, there is no clear hierarchy or dominant species, as each animal plays a unique role in the ecosystem.
